KARACHI: Supermodel Ayyan Ali, who was released on bail from Adiala Jail last week in a currency smuggling case, thanked her legal team for facilitating her release and termed the episode a conspiracy against her and her career.

Thanks to all of you who prayed for me & my Lawyers specially Sardar Latif Khosa Sr ASC (Senior Advocate Supreme Court) ALLAH bless you all, said a tweet posted on the model's account.
Everything that happened was a conspiracy against me and my career! But there is no one stronger then ALLAH if ur innocent nothing can harm u, she said in another tweet.
ALLAH gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers ... Good afternoon thank you

After being in the limelight during her detention at Rawalpindi's Adiala jail and court appearances on charges of currency smuggling, the supermodel made her first public appearance of sorts on Twitter in a selfie with former VJ Waqar Zaka, after being released on bail.

My first selfie after 4 months :-) Right after dinner with my friend n the most daring PAKI ever, said the model.

The supermodel, who is one of the most recognisable faces in Pakistan’s fashion circuit, was jailed on March 14 when she was caught at Islamabad airport attempting to board a flight to Dubai with half a million dollars.
